Lithuania
Map

Lithuania (Lietuva in Lithuanian) is a land of fertile,
low-lying plains in the western and central regions and rolling hills in the
eastern portion of the country. A flat coastal plain lies along the Baltic Sea.
Nearly all of Lithuania’s land is less than 200 m in elevation. About 1/4 is
forested, and there are thousands of lakes in the countryside.

Lithuania is the largest of the Baltic states, with an area of
about 65,300 km˛. Lithuania’s Baltic coast extends 99 km. The southern half of
the coastline is buttressed by the Curonian Spit, a long, narrow sandbar that
forms an offshore lagoon.
